4 Each following minute as it flies, Increase thy praife, improve our joys, Till we are rais'd to fing thy name, At the great fupper of the Lamb.

GOD ALL IN ALL. PSALM Xviii. 46.

I

THE great JEHOVAH reigns
Upon a throne fublime;

And from his own eternity

Sees the wide waftes of time.

2 This great JEHOVAH's mine,
The faint in rapture cries;
And to this everlasting rock
My joyful fpirit flies.

3. From this immortal fpring
Immenfe falvation flows;

And with the wonders of his love
My grateful bofom glows.

4 His name fhall be my song

While life and breath are giv'n; And his unceafing praise fhall run Thro' all the days of heav'n.

HYMN 229.

THE DIVIDED HEART LAMENT E D.

I

Srrange that fo much of heav'n & hell

Shou'd in one bofom meet!

LORD! can thy Spirit ever dwell

Where Satan has a feat.

2 Now I am all transform'd to love,
And cou'd expire in praise;
Then foon not all the joys above
One cheerful note can raise.

3 When I with penfive thoughts review
The mazes I have trod,
Astonish'd at the grace that drew
My wand'ring foul to God.

4 O with what ardent zeal I vow
A rectitude within!

5

What indignation fires me now
At the mere thoughts of fin!
Yet vain amusements, hurrying cares,
Trifles of lofs or gain,

Or carnal joys, or worldly fears,
Seduce my heart again.

6 By faithful hopes, and golden dreams, I'm nurtur'd, or betray'd,

Still toft between the two extremes,
Too vain, or too difmay'd.

7 Decide the dubious, awful cafe By fome affuring fign;

And O may thy all-conqu❜ring grace
Demonstrate I am thine.

HYMN 230.

CHRIST JUSTIFIES AND SANCTIFIES. JOHN xix. 34.

I

MY

Y Saviour's pierced fide
Pour'd out a double flood;

By water we are purify'd,
And pardon'd by thy blood."
2 Look up, my soul, to him,
Whofe death was thy defert;
And humbly view the living stream
Flow from his breaking heart.

3 There on the curfed tree
In dying pangs he lies,
Fulfils his Father's great decree,
And all our wants fupplies.

4 Thus the redeemer came
By water and by blood ;
And when the Spirit fpeaks the fame,
We feel his witnefs good.

5 LORD, cleanse my foul from fin,
Nor let thy grace depart;
Great Comforter, abide within,
And witness to my heart.

I

HYMN 231.

FOR VICTORY OVER DEATH.

For an overcoming faith
To chear my dying hours,

To triumph o'er the monster, death,
And all his frightful pow'rs.

2 Joyful with all the ftrength I have,
My quiv'ring lips fhou'd fing,
"Where is thy boafted vict'ry, grave?
"And where the monster's fting?"

3

If fin be pardon'd, I'm fecure;
Death has no fting befide;
The law gives fin its damning pow'r
But CHRIST, my ransom, dy'd.

4 Now to the God of victory

Immortal thanks be paid,

Who makes us conqu'rors while we die, Thro' CHRIST our living head.

HYMN

23.2.

SAFETY IN CHRIST.

B
Eset with fnares on ev'ry hand,
In life's uncertain path I ftand:
Saviour divine! diffufe thy light,
To guide my doubtful footsteps right.

2 Engage this roving, treacherous heart, Great GOD! to choofe the better part; To fcorn the trifles of a day,

3

For joys that none can take away.

Then let the wildeft ftorms arife, Let tempefts mingle earth and fkies; No fatal fhipwreck fhall I fear, But all my treafure with me bear. 4 If thou, my JESUS, ftill art nigh, Chearful I live, and chearful die; Secure, when mortal comforts flee, To find ten thousand worlds in thee.

HYMN 233.

TO THE HOLY GHOST.

ICOME, HOLY SPIRIT, come,
Let thy bright beams arife;

Difpel the darkness from our minds,
And open all our eyes.

2 Revive our drooping faith,

Our doubts and fears remove; And kindle in our breafts the flames

Of never-dying love.

3 Convince us of our fin,

Then lead to JESU's blood;

And to our wond'ring view reveal
The fecret love of God.
